✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill would prohibit the sale of certain products in New York that contain PFAS, a group of man-made chemicals linked to serious health problems including cancer. These 'forever chemicals' are found in many everyday products and don't break down in the environment or the human body. Businesses that violate the ban would face financial penalties.
